Django: override RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper

Question

I want to change the way that the \"+\" icon for the foreign key in the admin site is shown.

I found that the widget that prints the code is RelatedFieldWidget

Answer 1

You would need to create custom ModelForm for ModelAdmin and override widget there.

Example code:

#forms.py
class CustomForm(forms.ModelForm):
    user = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=User.objects.all(), widget=yourCustomWidget)

class Meta:
    model = MyModel

#admin.py
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
     form = CustomForm
